Harry Potter Series fandom

Ever since I was child, I have been a bookworm. Well, it’s not like each time you see me I am reading but truly it’s one of my hobbies. And just like any other booklovers, I am also one of the avid readers of the popular series “The Harry Potter”. It started after watching The Sorcerer’s Stone in DVD last Christmas 2001. And because of the fact that my mom would not give me money to buy books such as those (because they prefer academic books, books that are required in school), I ended up borrowing it and all the succeeding published books except the last installment of the series (The Deathly Hollows) because I downloaded the e-book and printed it. I succeeded reading the series by merely borrowing it, and now that I have my own work, one of my plans is to buy it, June 30 had passed (last day of work) and up till now I don’t have it. waaa..

I really love this series because of the feeling of excitement it gives me, waiting for the next book to be released. Because of this thrill, the last book (before the next release) that I read I ended up reading it all over again.

Harry Potter and the…

Sorcerer’s/Philosopher’s Stone – 5x

Chamber of Secrets – 3x

Prisoner of Azkaban – 8x

Goblet of Fire – 4x

Order of the Phoenix – 5x

Half-blood Prince – 3x

Deathly Hallows – once (because it’s not a book, e-books give me headache. hehe

Jotting down the numbers I have read each book, I realized “am I that dull?!” Haha.. The third book The Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite; I read it numerous times, because it’s the first book that revealed significant events and story, the story of James (Harry’s father) and his friends in particular. Next to my list is the Order of the Phoenix, it’s the first book that I bawled my eyes out, it was when Sirius (Harry’s godfather) died. Huhu. After that, the Half-blood Prince, I also wept when Professor Dumbledore died. Huhu.. I was that engrossed with my reading that I ended up bawling each time a character dies. I also like the other books not that much compared to the first three.

I really like this series and I wish there will be another series like this, and when that time comes I will definitely buy it. :)
